UT Vols: Marquill Osborne to transfer from Tennessee

Blake Toppmeyer Knoxville News Sentinel Published 5:00 PM EST Dec 7, 2018 Tennessee cornerback Marquill Osborne will transfer, he announced in a note he published on Twitter Friday. He becomes the second UT player to announce his transfer since the season ended, joining fourth-string quarterback Will McBride. A bulk of departures was expected to clear up room for the 2019 signing class so that UT would not exceed the limit of 85 scholarships. Osborne appeared in 10 games as a reserve during his junior season. He made two interceptions during the Vols’ 24-7 victory over Kentucky on Nov. 10. “This decision was not easy and comes with deep regret,” Osborne wrote in his announcement. “I have learned from my experiences at the University of Tennessee and it has left a lasting impact on my development, and I will always be grateful.” WHAT WE KNOW: Kendal Briles in focus for UT Vols football OC job with Hugh Freeze out HS SPORTS AWARDS: Third annual Knox News Sports Awards honoring high school athletes set for May 29
